Assuming that the overall diameter of the upgraded wheels and tyres have not changed, your existing spare will be fine. garioch43

The circumference should be the same as the tyre wall difference will make it up should be 235

will be fine for temporary, is it a steel space saver? all the wheels have the same rolling circumference so are interchangeable in the short term At work

We established a while ago, to the surprise of many, that there is no law against having different size tyres, or indeed wheels, on your car. The only rule is not to mix radials with cross plies. Hence your spare may be a different sized wheel or have a different sized tyre. So long as the circumference is the same it's legal and it will work. Some Freelanders have actually been supplied with a different full-size tyre on the spare. All the different FR2 specifications, 17, 18 and 19 inch, have more or less the same diameter, so one spare works with all.
